So excited to see familiar faces from yesterday and from when my own children went through CPS! Can't wait to learn how to better support my Kindergarten students!

Today was so much fun, I truly feel empowered and energized. I am ready for the 2022 - 2023 school year.

Dr. Melissa Goodwin modeled a terrific ELA lesson and provided some excellent food for thought regarding best practices for secondary ELA instruction.

So informative! Tracie Brandana did an amazing job of presenting the information! She broke it down and really gave some great strategies for instruction!

What are some literacy resources/programs available at the secondary level? If we don't have access already, could secondary teachers request to get access to LETRS or other similar programs?

Lots of info, but Learned Lots of new strategies

I met some more amazing colleagues, and gained another bag of tools to support learning this year! I'm most looking forward to implementing data findings in a way that produces the better results which is helping my learners move the needle! Mrs.Lewter and Mrs.Kling were phenomenal presenters!

I am so glad I signed up for the Structured Literacy session with Ellena Baker! It was a lot of information and a little overwhelming, but has given me a lot of ideas for next year. It is also making me reflect on my teaching practices so that I can do better for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of this is geared toward elementary but would be helpful for secondary case managers to have crash courses or training with elem case managers - not all of us have taught at elementary level and may not have experience or knowledge base to help our older students who need SDI in these areas

Both break out sessions have been so informative. Great resources for any age. It is interesting to see how affixes are used in every level of learning.

Many IEP reading goals have been based on reading levels…if moving away from that with STR, what is the best way to address these special education goals in place?

Overall it provided some good strategies and fairly interesting.
However, I would think reading focus should teach automaticity by sound first versus letter name during drills. We read saying sounds not letter names.
A great resource for intermediate would be RAZPlus as it has soooo many tools, decodeable books and passages with comprehension checks!!! The books have a variety of levels and suggested lessons to enhance the students ability to practice targeted skills.

She was so informative and was very passionate about what she does. She was so easy to listen to. Thank you for inviting her to speak.

This information is so needed.  It's difficult for me to challenge some students without overwhelming other students in the same classroom. I agree that it skills need to be taught together. I just need to figure out how.
Any suggestions? Grouping is great when there is at least one student that will participate. When I move to another group, the skills are lost. I want them to have ownership of the concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned a lot in this short time! Excited to learn more!!!

I agree that changing from Guided Reading groups with leveled readers to teaching students according to instructional stages is a paradigm shift.

As a parent, I did not see the value of phonemics for my children but I learned a lot from Dr. Lupo. As an educator, I am looking forward to some strategies in identifying the foundational reading skills for my HS students to better teach the content.

Great session.  Very informative and affirmed that all children need systematic phonics.

Keypoints
- Students needs a variety of texts
-The formula for Reading Comprehension

As and EL Lead Teacher, I would like to have more resources available for newcomers to assess their level of literacy in their native language. Testing them in English as newcomers is not a true reflection of their literacy skills. Being aware of what they are capable of in their native language can really guide the teacher in knowing where to start and how to best approach their learning.

I am so excited about the future in reading for our little ones!  Last year's phonics lessons were an amazing way to start!

SPED teachers at secondary level need more info and training opportunities for this topic, since our IEP goals still work in this area

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need training as a district about how to approach guided reading since leveled readers are not part of the Science of Reading. Where do we go from here since most of us have been using leveled texts in guided reading and have spent extensive time leveling our classroom libraries. I'm nervous for the year!

Loved Dr. Lupo's comment for older grades to NOT over scaffold.

What are your take aways?

Can Middle School have access to some resources that Elementary has access to. It would be very helpful to use the same strategies especially for SPED when working on IEP goals and some of our students are still on an elementary level.

I have seen many people posting about a LETRS cohort. As a new employee of CPS, I am very interested in joining. How can I join the LETRS cohort either this year or next year?

# data[].attributes.body
This is such a game changer. Such a total shift from what many of us have been 'teaching' for so long. I am loving the new insight!

# data[].attributes.body
Could the DEL add the information from the CPS phonics program to our Schoology group? Those of us in secondary don't always have access or know the updated research, and it sounds like the CPS made program used last year is successful! Could help with decoding goals at secondary level
